Why is Stargate still dormant? (lemmy.zip)

With Star Trek thriving in its renaissance, what's holding Stargate back from its own rebirth?

Is fan interest too low, or are tangled rights keeping the gate shut, as it were?

i honestly never understood this, as among friends and even strangers met through friends were sad the show never finished.

i guess there was a lot of backlash I wasn't aware of internet-wise. but I was super invested.

It was a big shift in tone and overall style. Fans wanted more Stargate (especially with Atlantis cancelled) and got a wildly different style of show with a Stargate theme.

In S2 the Stargate spirit started to show a little, but not enough to keep me around. Ironically, I stoped watching right around the midway point when it started to get good and course corrected to have what made Stargate great, but adapted to the modern TV show structure.

When I went for a rewatch, I came in not expecting Stargate show. My mindset was as if it was no Stargate - which actually made me enjoy S1 so I could get to the parts that actually felt like I'm watching a Stargate show.

If S1 was made similarly to S2 I suspect more Stargate fans would enjoy it.
